We are committed to sharing our progress as we develop our sustainable business strategy
The AmplifiedAg Sustainability Impact Update is the company’s first operations and impact evaluation that includes scope 1 and 2 emissions, resource consumption, waste reduction, and other social and environmental impacts, as well as AmplifiedAg’s future goals and commitments.
Water
A GLOBAL PROBLEM
Population growth and climate change are depleting freshwater supplies around the globe. In as little as 50 years, many regions in the US will see their water supplies reduced by more than a third. Conventional agriculture accounts for about 75% of annual water consumption and often leaches chemicals from pesticides and fertilizers into the existing groundwater supply.
OUR APPROACH
Using a closed-loop irrigation system, our hydroponic farms use up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture. Our team is working on innovative water conservation strategies in order to consume less and protect the world’s most valuable resource.
Food Waste
A GLOBAL PROBLEM
Nearly one-third of food grown in the United States is lost or wasted. When food sits in landfills it emits methane, a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide, directly impacting climate change.
OUR APPROACH
As a USDA Food Loss and Waste 2030 champion, we pledge to reduce all organic waste in our operations 50% by 2025, with the ultimate goal to eliminate it entirely. Through harvest optimization, donations, and composting, we strive to responsibly dispose of all food waste and avoid landfills, reducing our waste-related emissions.
